Why We Give

Every act of generosity has a story. Behind every gift is a personal connection, a cherished memory, a heartfelt thank you or a hope that others will receive the same compassion and support when they need it most.

Through Why We Give, we share the stories of the people, families, businesses and community groups whose generosity strengthens Kemp Care Network’s work. Each story is different, but together they reflect the many meaningful reasons people choose to support compassionate care in our community.

Giving back to the community that supported them

Johnston's Family Story

For Denise and Bill Johnston, supporting Kemp Care Network began with a single visit.

Several years ago, Denise became involved through Hamilton Golf and Country Club's Par for a Cause initiative, which was raising funds for Camp Erin, now Camp Keaton, Kemp Care Network's bereavement camp for children and youth grieving the death of someone close to them. As part of that experience, she visited Dr. Kemp's House for the first time.

"I was blown away," Denise said. "It's homey. It's a little less clinical, but still provides all the care that everybody needs."

That first impression stayed with her.
